The vast majority of corporate developers truly believe that application
security is not their concern, assuming that network and engineering groups
will build their environment in a secure way. But what about application
security? Are you ready for the code audit?
Application Security Isn't Getting the Attention It Deserves
When most people in the corporate world talk about "security," they mean the
security of the network, operating system, and servers. Organizations that
want to protect their systems against hacker attacks invest a lot of time,
effort, and money ensuring that these three components are secure. Without
this secure foundation, systems cannot operate securely.
However, even if the network, server, and operating system are 100% secure,

Since its inception XML has at times been seen as the cure-all for every
problem related to Web applications and integration projects. However, poorly
written XML can either slow down an integration project, or worse, cause the
integration project to collapse.
When developing integration systems such as Web services or any other
business-to-business function, developers may encounter the ... (more)
Most organizations that use Linux as a business operating system are
developing their own applications for Linux - perhaps in response to the
current scarcity of packaged applications available on Linux. With so much
internal development for Linux, it is critical that the IT groups building
